DIVERSINET POWERS INTERSECTIONS’MOBILE LOCKBOXSM ENHANCEMENT
IDENTITY GUARD® Users Access and Store Personal and Financial Information Any Time, Anywhere Via Mobile Phone
TORONTO, Canada, June 17, 2008 – Diversinet Corp. (OTCBB: DVNTF), a leading provider of wireless data security infrastructure products and services, today announced that its MobiSecure™ Wallet and Vault mobile secure encrypted access solution is at the heart of the new Mobile LockboxSM, a major enhancement to the Identity Guard® Total Protection service from Intersections Inc. (NASDAQ: INTX), a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services.
MobiSecure Wallet and Vault provides Intersections with a mobile security platform to extend its core Identity Guard offering by creating a host of new services that build closer, more personal and “sticky” relationships with new and existing customers. Using revolutionary, secure, and easy-to-use MobiSecure Wallet and Vault software from Diversinet, Mobile Lockbox securely stores usernames and passwords, banking information, personal information, insurance documents and wills, even photographs. The Diversinet software also makes it possible for Mobile Lockbox to offer built-in e-mail and faxing capabilities – along with secured and encrypted customized financial transaction alerts – enabling Identity Guard subscribers to monitor their records while they’re on the go.
“Mobile Lockbox is a breakthrough that puts consumers in control of their digital personal identities by providing the secure, any time, anywhere access they need to better manage their personal and financial matters,” said Michael Stanfield, chairman and CEO of Intersections. “Secure mobile platforms are a convenient way for consumers to keep vigilant watch over their identity, and Diversinet’s MobiSecure Wallet and Vault products provide an essential, enabling mobile security platform we can build upon to gain additional touch points with our customers.”
Identity Guard Total Protection was recently ranked number one among six leading identity theft protection providers by PC World magazine. It not only helps consumers protect their credit from identity theft, but also provides 360-degree protection on the Internet, on PCs, or when traveling, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Consumers’ most personal information – credit, financial, passwords, Social Security numbers, and more – is protected from the fastest growing crime in the United States: identity theft.
“MobiSecure Wallet and Vault builds upon our patented soft token and authentication technologies to create a secure encrypted mobile platform that makes it easy for enterprises to publish relevant personal information to a user’s mobile device with complete confidence that nobody else can read it or intercept it,” said Albert Wahbe, CEO and chairman of Diversinet. “We’ve created a disruptive technology that dramatically lowers the cost and complexity of providing secure mobile access to the personal information that people use every day to support their lifestyle.”
Once installed on the subscriber’s mobile device, MobiSecure Wallet offers Intersections the flexibility to launch new service offerings on the fly with no additional programming on the client device. After a subscriber has registered and authenticated themselves, whatever personal information they see on the mobile screen is stored securely on their mobile device, eliminating the inconvenient and time-consuming task of repeatedly retrieving the information from a remote server.

DIVERSINET DEBUTS COMMERCIALLY DEPLOYED PLATFORM FORSecure Mobile Phone Access to Sensitive Information
MobiSecure Wallet and Vault Now In Use by Major Healthcare and Financial Services Enterprises for Any Time, Anywhere Convenience
TORONTO, Canada, June 17, 2008 – Diversinet Corp. (OTCBB: DVNTF), a leading provider of wireless data security infrastructure products and services, today launched MobiSecure™ Wallet and Vault, the company’s first commercially deployed platform for enabling secure encrypted access to medical, financial and other sensitive personal information by individuals through their mobile phones, PDAs and personal computers. Offering unrivaled security across a broad range of mobile devices, Diversinet’s MobiSecure Wallet and Vault products have already been deployed by AllOne Health Group, Inc. to the Hospital Service Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania and its health plans, and Intersections, Inc. (NASDAQ:INTX), a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services.
“MobiSecure Wallet and Vault products work together to create a secure encrypted platform that makes it easy for enterprises to deliver relevant personal information to a mobile or fixed device with complete confidence that nobody besides the intended recipient can read or intercept it,” said Albert Wahbe, CEO and chairman of Diversinet. “We are leading the way in the depth of security and breadth of supported clients – from Java and Windows to RIM and BREW – that we offer, enabling us to deliver a breakthrough technology that dramatically lowers the cost and complexity of providing secure, real-time access to the identity information and other critical, privileged data that people use every day to support their lifestyle.”
MobiSecure Wallet gives users instant, secure access through their mobile phone to personal identity, confidential and privileged information that is stored in the MobiSecure Vault. The MobiSecure Wallet turns an individual’s mobile phone into a kind of remote control device they can use to display, fax or e-mail any data stored in the MobiSecure Vault server or other data sources. An enhanced client interface provides a natural user experience. Based on MobiSecure soft token strong authentication technology, the client-side MobiSecure Wallet is embedded into a mobile phone or personal computer and easily delivered over wireless networks or the Internet. Externally residing identity or privileged information is delivered to the wallet from the MobiSecure Vault server, which also aids in data synchronization and management.
The MobiSecure Vault is a secure, server-side repository that can host and manage stored sensitive data such as personal identity information, personal health records, insurance information, financial records or banking and brokerage information. This data can be stored in the server or reside in external data sources, and can include text as well as a variety of large file formats such as graphics, images, audio, video and other rich media. A self-service, web-based interface allows new users to create vault accounts and securely upload and organize their personal data, and it supports an optimized, secure protocol for downloading personal data and synchronizing it with the user’s MobiSecure Wallet.
The Wallet and Vault platform enables applications to be updated on the fly and pushed out to clients automatically over the air or the Internet. Its enhanced secure messaging system enables service providers to communicate important messages, alerts and other ad hoc critical, privileged information directly to users, providing the convenience of SMS with the added security of an encrypted, authenticated channel. The MobiSecure Vault also is capable of simultaneously supporting multiple branded versions of applications running on the server, creating efficiencies and flexibility for enterprises providing branded services for third parties.
“The healthcare, financial services and insurance industries represent opportunities for secure communications systems that enable enterprises to put highly sensitive personal information at customers' fingertips wherever they are,” said Bob Egan, chief analyst for TowerGroup. “We expect the major players in these industries will build upon platforms
to create compelling new services that will help build loyalty and develop more 'sticky' relationships with their customers.”
